Families will be allowed to travel home and gather together for Christmas as the Government has taken a "calculated risk" in easing Covid-19 restrictions.
Shops, hairdressers, churches, gyms, museums, and cinemas will all reopen from Tuesday, December 1, under a multi-phase plan to ease restrictions on the economy and society.
